I third it. Bought a stand a few years ago that was wrapped in the stuff, was very pleased. Cut out my own windows, hinged at the top and used a string to raise/lower.

Always intended to go back and frame in plexi windows and install. Worked well enough I never did. I wish I still had that stand.

Genius

Makes stand light weight. Wasps aren’t attracted to that shite.

You cut rectangles and fold them down for window slits and fold them back up close when done.

they fold in a stiff wind.

SmartBoard siding is the sh*t instead of plywood. Also have one made out of the corrugated plastic (large sheets), if i'm not mistaken hope depot has them or can get them.

no idea what you mean.

the one i hunted in still had stud walls, they just used that corrugated material on outside as walls. No issues what so ever.

Find someone with a sawmill and get the rounded pieces they cut off to square off the wood

corrugated plastic yard


its been a while, but What i found was that these big 4x4 sheets were more expensive than plywood.

I also think plywood helps keep the entire stand sturdy

If you design the walls correctly it can all be assembled on the base once in the air. We built plenty of them out of 2x2's and 1/4" plywood. Hoist the roof on last and screw down with hurricane straps.

Cheaper than fence boards that someone was tearing down?
